Double Features

Any double features that you'd like to see, either on the big screen or just some afternoon on TV? In particular, ones that aren't part of a franchise or series. For me, what I could think of...

Shutter Island/Inception - both feature Leonardo DiCaprio in mind bending thrillers where he is haunted by his dead wife

The Conversation/Blow Out - both deal with surveillance/recording technology, murder, suspicion, paranoia

Jackie Brown/Out of Sight - both are based on Elmore Leonard novels, released around the same time, and feature Michael Keaton in the same role

Rio Bravo/El Dorado/Rio Lobo - each of these Howard Hawks westerns share similar themes, characters, and even some sequences and dialogue stolen from each other. It'd be interesting to see how they work back to back to back.

Brief Encounter (Lean, 1946)/The Apartment (Wilder, 1960)

The former strongly influenced the latter, both in terms of the initial scenario of the latter film, and the Rachmaninoff-tinged score that Adolph Deutsch provided.

Rocky/Stop! Or My Will Shoot

We can see the rise of Sly Stallone as he plays Rocky Balboa in this classic underdog story, and then we can be treated with seeing his downward slide into crappy films that almost ruined his career.

Taxi Driver/The King of Comedy - I've always felt that, while these two films couldn't be more different, they share a lot of similarities

The Illusionist/The Prestige - both deal w/ magicians and their secrets

The Big Sleep/The Big Lebowski - just to try and find any noticeable similarities between Raymond Chandler's Detective Marlowe and The Coen Brothers Dude

The Shawshank Redemption/The Green Mile - two Stephen King prison dramas written and directed by Frank Darabont

Where the Buffalo Roam/Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - two different takes on Hunter Thompson

Raising Arizona/O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Both films by the Coen Brothers that happen to be my favorites from them. I think they would mesh well together.
